GG-FL, GraphoGame Flemish; AC, active control game; n, number of participants; M, mean; SD, standard deviation; Med, median; IQR, interquartile range. For categorical variables (motivation reported by parent, encouragement to play, usual playing moment, and book reading sessions), the number of children in each subcategory is reported; VM, very motivated; RM, relatively motivated; ID, independent; NM, not motivated; ENN, encouragement never needed; ESN, encouragement sometimes needed; EMN, encouragement mostly needed; EAN, encouragement always needed; MN, morning; N, noon; A, afternoon; E, evening; V, varying playing moment.
